After-hours home care solution providers: run HeyHomeCare for your agencies

After-hours home care solution providers are the answering services, on-call companies and triage lines that cover home care agencies’ phones at night and on weekends. With HeyHomeCare, a provider can run an automated after-hours line for each agency it serves: the AI takes the first call, each agency keeps its own number, Playbook and records, and the provider’s operators become the on-call floor for whatever needs a person.

By the HeyHomeCare team. What the line does for each agency is on the software page; anything on this page that isn’t built yet is marked “coming for partners.”

The offer
Keep your agencies and your people. Let the AI take the first call, work each agency’s Playbook and hand your operators only what needs a person, with the facts attached. Each agency stays its own workspace; a single console across all of them is coming for partners.
01 / Why partners

The AI takes the first call, your operators take the rest.

Agencies that look for a new after-hours provider tend to give the same reasons: the provider is at capacity, quality varies from operator to operator, everything gets escalated, and skilled shifts get offered to the wrong people. An AI first call answers each of those for the agencies you already serve:

  • Capacity. The AI answers every call and text first, so your operators spend their time on the calls that need a person.
  • Consistency. Each agency’s Playbook runs the same way every time, and an RN or LPN shift is never offered to a caregiver without that license.
  • Fewer escalations. The AI resolves what the agency’s rules allow and escalates the rest with the facts attached.
  • A record. Each agency opens to its own record of the night: every call-off, clock-in and inquiry, with who was told.
02 / How it works

How it works for each agency.

  1. Each agency gets its own workspace
    Its own HeyHomeCare number (the agency forwards or ports its line), its own Playbook and its own records. Nothing is shared between agencies.
  2. The agency’s Playbook is set
    With the agency: who decides on call-offs, how missed clock-ins are chased, where new clients and emergencies go.
  3. Your operators are the on-call floor
    The agency lists your operators as the people who take live transfers and approvals. Its own on-call manager still hears what its Playbook says they should.
  4. The AI takes the first call
    Every call and text is answered by the AI, which resolves what the Playbook allows and transfers the rest to your operators with the facts attached. Emergencies go to a person at once.
  5. Each agency gets its morning record
    Every call-off, missed clock-in and new-client inquiry is on that agency’s record, with what was sent and who was told.

Who it’s for.

  • On-call companies and outsourced schedulers that carry agencies’ after-hours phones.
  • Nurse triage lines that want scheduling calls like call-offs handled while their nurses stay on clinical calls.

There’s no price list for partners: pricing depends on the agencies you cover and the hours. See the Enterprise plan, and how providers like yours compare on the 10 best after-hours home care solutions.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Q.01
What is an after-hours home care solution provider?
A company that covers home care agencies’ phones outside office hours: an answering service, an on-call company or outsourced scheduler, or a nurse triage line. It answers caregivers, clients and families at night and on weekends, and passes along or handles what comes in.
